Keep It Simple


Complicated food plans and complicated lives work against us in this program. We compulsive overeaters have a hard time making decisions about food, and the more simple our menus, the better. We also tend to overextend ourselves in other areas, dissipating engery which we need for working our program.

Our three meals a day can be nourishing and attractive withour being elaborate. If we spend too much time and engery planning and perparing our food, we run risk of reactivating our abession. Too much thinking about food usually leads to overeating and invariably produces mental turmoil.

For our peace of mind and emotional serenity, we meed to keep the mechanics of our lives as simple as possible. If the spirit is to be free, it cannot be shackled by over-concern with material things.
